I Need You, You Need Me: The Young, the Old, and What We Can Achieve Together, the new report from Generations United and The Eisner Foundation, highlights national examples of pioneers reuniting the generations and making their communities better places to live.

It includes a new public opinion survey on how Americans of all ages feel about the young and the old uniting. Taking inspiration from the survey findings and featured organizations, the report highlights inventive, intergenerational solutions and actionable ways to harness the benefits of connecting generations. They include:

Lobby your local government to make age integration a core value

Call on organizations that serve the young to collaborate with those that serve the old

Challenge your local board of education to integrate elders into every school
